I am currently trying to create a process that needs to run at a certain time(18:00).

What would be the best way for me to do this?

My aplication is a web based app.

Can you elaborate a bit regarding your process? Is this an independent/isolated process? Can we move it out from the web app?

The process needs to export transaction details from the database to an FTP server.
I dont have access to the server to install a windows service

Well in that case the process will be very simple. Try like this

1. Create a Console Application which will do following
1.1 Get connectivity to the database
1.2 Develop export mechanism to file
1.3 Develop FTP mechanism to FTP file to the servers
2. Create a windows scheduler task
3. Configure task to run on 18:00

Thats all you have to do. Please follow below url in case you dont know how to schedule the task.

Best way is to create a Windows Service with a configuration file and Log File than going for a complex implementation

1.Visual Basic Projects->Windows Service
2.Create the Worker threads and Implement your functionality
3.Read Configuration from Settings.ini file
4.Write data to a data file
5.Register the service in Window using -service command from command prompt

Eg:- C:\Myservicefolder\myservice.exe -service

6. Run-> services.msc find your service then start it

The service will be ruing until you stop it (If possible make service as Automatic)

7. Unregistering service (If no longer needed)

C:\Myservicefolder\myservice.exe unregserver

This service can be acessed using a Client server Application from server to client for exchange of data Host service in Server
